According to the product specialist
Pros
The Shimano XT M8100 MTB brakes are fully customisable. |
The total weight of 573 grams is low for a brake set. |
These Shimano brakes have a sharp bite point, so they engage quickly and strongly. |
Incredible stopping power. |
Great value for money when it comes to enduro brakes. |
Can be combined with all types of Magura rotors. |
These brakes are perfect for performance-oriented cross-country mountain bikers! |
These brakes are lightweight. |
Braking power and modulation are excellent for Dutch MTB routes and medium technical trails in other countries. |
The brake lever is fully adjustable. |
The Magura Storm HC brake discs provide excellent braking power in all conditions. |
Cons
Not suitable for rougher Enduro action. |
Perhaps too powerful when paired to large rotors. |
These brakes' bite is not as sharp as that of Shimano brakes. |
In terms of modulation, SRAM brakes perform better. |
